The use of hand dryers in public toilets increases the risk of skin pollution with golden staphylococcoccoccoccoccules and other dangerous bacteria, warned Spanish biotechnology Lucia Almagro, as quotes Vanitatis.
"Scientific data confirm that hand drowners can absorb bacteria from the bathroom, to accumulate them through air flow. This means that after washing your hands are polluted with bacteria again, "Almagro explained.
The specialist also quoted the study of McGill University, which confirms the effectiveness of paper towels after limiting the efficiency of the hands. According to the study, disposable paper towels remove up to 71% of bacteria from the skin surface, while the hand dries, about 23%.
Among the bacteria on the skin can be golden staphylococ, E. Coli and Shigella. They can cause pneumonia, Sepsis, heavy intestinal infections, diarrhea and vomiting.
The biotechnology also advised to use paper towel while communicating with door handles and valves. Such security measures will help minimize the risk of influence of pathogens.
